Hobby, solo developer of Gryphon Chess - hello, I'm Jon!

I code on weekends with an old friend from high school.

You can play Gryphon Chess on Web, iOS, and Android: gryphonchess.com
Working on the tutorial for Gryphon Chess - it's turning into its own game!

Trying to balance teaching goals, mechanics, rules, and pieces.

Too few steps and it's confusing, too many steps and it's boring 🫠

Working on adding sound FX and bg music!

It's a fun process so far, although, I realize how much I enjoy listening to music while I work.

I can't think of a way I can do both? 🤔😅

Recently worked on displaying captured pieces to the board - still lots more to add; getting there slowly, but surely!

Welcome to v4 of the Blue Sky Game Dev orientation 🧵!

Let's get you started with the basics of Bluesky, finding other devs, and posting about your games!

Btw, this is based on the artist orientation thread from @purlane.ink; make sure to check it out if you’re also on the art side of game dev!
Welcome to the Bluesky artist orientation 🧵!

This will get you started on the basics of how this network works, how to connect with other artists, and how to get your art seen.

If you’re a furry, I also highly recommend checking out @buttplug.engineer's furry orientation thread below:
Welcome to qDot’s “So you’re a furry that just joined bsky” 🧵

A guide to other posts on the network and servers furries should know because I’m sick of repeating myself

First up, @kamu.bsky.social ’s Furry Roll-call thread. Comment to let others know you’re here.

Working on adding localization: language selection.

As I dig in, it sounds like the advice is to have done this from the start.. things I wish I knew a year ago!

Strings I thought were in-game: 30

Actual number of strings: 2147483647 🫠
